It is handbaggage size however so if you are allowed two pieces, you could put the rest of your stuff in a small backpack safe in the knowledge that the laptops/iPad were well protected.
Thanks, will have a look. My hold luggage will have wheels so trying to avoid another with wheel, but these look nice.

If you carry more than one laptop, you may be asked why and have to sign documentation proving that all items will be re-exported when you leave. You can find more information
here (Indian Customs website FAQ)
In short, as a foreigner you can import two laptops and an iPad but must re-export them. Take a copy of the rules with you as some of the more 'creative' customs officers might try and interpret the current legislation in a less favourable way.
Thanks for this. I am taking two, one mine (work) and another is my customer's and I'm only taking that in case there is an emergency and I need to connect to their network.
More worryingly now, is explaining the need for two laptops on a tourist Visa :/ I must admit I never really thought about this
